CHAPTER

Shifting Sands: The Future of U.S. Foreign Aid

This chapter examines the unexpected freeze in U.S. foreign aid funding under the new administration and its broader implications for humanitarian efforts. The discussion highlights the anxiety within aid organizations as they face funding uncertainties, the shift from multilateral to bilateral assistance, and the potential erosion of humanitarian principles. Through a critical reflection on recent funding trends and governance failures, the chapter underscores the dire consequences of reduced support for vulnerable populations and the aid sector's own capacity to effectively address ongoing challenges.
